The healthy bacteria in our gut keeps Candida levels from overgrowth. Disturb that balance and the sneaky little monsters wreak havoc. Given the right environment, they become an opportunistic, nasty fungus. Any imbalance in the body helps them overproduce. Like an army of hooligans, COS breaks down the intestinal wall, enters the bloodstream, releasing toxic byproducts, which in turn cause Leaky Gut syndrome.
